Wang Shen stopped, pinched the magic trick in his hand, recited the words, scattered a handful of copper coins on the table, looked at it for a while, and turned around the hall several times before he said in surprise:

"Strange, huh? It's weird...... I understand. ”

Everyone gathered around Wang Shen, and when they saw this half-immortal like this, their expressions on their faces became suspicious......

Wang Shen frowned for a long time, but still told the prince the truth: "Your Royal Highness the prince, the poor road can't be calculated, and the display of the three hexagrams is obscure. ”

At this time, the prince was a little drumming in his heart, and his expression was suspicious: "Why is the immortal chief?" What happened to Your Majesty? ”

Wang Shen said: "There are masters who cast spells around Your Majesty to cover Your Majesty's machine, and its cultivation is far above the poor road, Your Majesty is a true son, with atmospheric luck, and it is very difficult to directly infer Your Majesty's numerology, Your Royal Highness the Prince, the poor road needs an object that Your Majesty always brings with you, clothes, jade or anything, which can help me accurately calculate." ”

The prince frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Okay! I have here a piece of jade that His Majesty once gave me, and I will send someone to fetch it. ”

Not long after, a palace maid took Yu Jue and respectfully handed it to Wang Shen, he took it with his heart, put it in the palm of his hand, and a magic trick hit Yu Jue, read the words, and put it back on the table, only to see Wang Shen close his eyes and calculate for a long time, fine sweat broke out on his forehead, only to hear a snap, Yu Jue was split in half, and the onlookers looked at each other.

Finally, Wang Shen sprinkled another handful of copper coins, opened his eyes and looked at the hexagram displayed on the table, and said uncertainly after a while: "His Royal Highness the Prince, fortunately, I am not dishonored, the poor road has been calculated, but the matter is very important, and the ugly words of the poor road are ahead, and the results of today's calculation cannot be spread by the slightest rumor, otherwise I am afraid it will cause people to be restless." ”

The prince urged: "Immortal Chief, this house is full of lonely cronies, you can rest assured." ”

Wang Shen pondered for a long time and said, "Back to Your Highness, the result of the poor Dao's calculation is that Your Majesty should have reached the end ......of his life nine months ago."

As soon as these words came out, the whole room suddenly exploded, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince fell backwards with weak legs when he heard this.

Qin Shao was also shocked when he heard this, seeing that the prince hurriedly stepped forward to support him, after all, there is still a difference between speculation and really knowing the news, just now everyone saw Wang Shen so strange, in fact, they already believed it in their hearts, plus the recent series of thunderous measures of the Taiji Palace to suppress the East Palace, and the strange performance some time ago, everyone in the house and the prince are now completely convinced that Huo Zheng and his gang are definitely doing secrets and not mourning, and abolishing the drama of growing up and standing young.

It's just that I didn't expect that the Taiji Palace would actually paralyze them for so long? Presumably, the emperor's body may have been rotted a long time ago, and even Cui Xiangguo may have already been in a different place.

The prince said sadly and indignantly: "Lone will kill Huo Zheng, a dog thief, who actually deceived us so much." ”

The prince looked up again and said, "Your Majesty, the spirit of your old man must bless his sons and ministers to succeed, and the country must not fall into the hands of others." ”

While everyone was whining and mourning, Wang Shen continued: "His Royal Highness the Prince, according to the calculations of the poor Dao, His Majesty's soul has not entered reincarnation, but is still in the Taiji Palace, in a strange state of immortality, which is really incomprehensible to the poor Dao. ”

Everyone was still whining and wailing just now, and when they heard Wang Shen like this, they were all blindfolded, I don't know what he meant, is the emperor dead or alive? What does this mean by immortality?

At this time, Cao Huan reacted and said, "What does Immortal Chief mean by this?" Although this official has also read a lot of Taoist classics, what does this mean by immortality? Could it be that Your Majesty has really become an immortal? ”

Wang Shen shook his head and said: "Everything has life and death, even if it is an immortal, it is difficult to escape the catastrophe of the earth, it can never be this intermediate state, the poor Dao can be sure that Your Majesty is by no means a sign of becoming an immortal now, when I calculated, I felt that Your Majesty's soul seemed to have a trace of demonic energy entangled, and the poor Dao's skills were limited, and it could only be inferred to this stage......"

Before the words fell, at this time, Qingyang Ling Cao Huan's face was solemn, and he asked: "Although this official can't cultivate, he is just a mortal, but since I have been involved in this kind of Dao Gate magic, I have speculated a possibility, there is a kind of Dao Gate magic, which can confine the soul in the corpse and refine it into a zombie, so that the body can be kept from rotting for a long time, immortal chief, Huo Thief, Zhang Daoling and the like, should they be ......?"

The faces of everyone changed slightly, and the gang of traitors seeking power in Taiji Palace were too appalling, and the prince was also pale when he heard it.

When Wang Shen heard this, he also nodded in agreement: "Lord Cao's is good, and this possibility cannot be ruled out......

Wang Shen still wanted to order something.

As a result, Cao Huan began to get excited first, and roared angrily: "Huo Lao thief, Zhang Demon Ren, will be so mad that they will insult His Majesty's Holy Body, I really didn't expect them to do such a rebellious thing, I, Cao, swear not to share it with the traitor." ”

Cao Huanba knelt down in front of the prince and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you give an order, I, Cao, will swear to follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to kill the traitors, and return the people to a good place." ”

Everyone also knelt on the ground with grief and indignation and said to the prince: "Your Royal Highness the prince, please give an order, I am willing to follow His Highness to the death to kill the traitor, Kuang Zheng will ......."

Wang Shen saw that the crowd was excited, and it was not good to do anything more, so as not to arouse their suspicion and misunderstanding again.

When the prince saw that Wang Shen came over and pretended to be a ghost, the effect was so good that even the hesitant Qingyang Ling Cao Huan surrendered directly.

Xindao, these demons are really useful at a critical moment, so they rewarded Wang Shen with 5,000 gold on the spot, sent him away, and treated Wang Shen well after he completed his deed.

Wang Shen took the bounty, sighed softly and returned to the post house...

At dusk, in the east palace, the prince instructed all his cronies to receive their own orders, take their men and horses to carry out their own tasks, and the prince personally went to visit, tandem the courtiers, and persuaded them to join his camp.

That night, the prince's cronies Guo Huan, Qin Shao and others led the two thousand dead soldiers who sneaked into the city in batches from outside the city, and rushed to the arsenal of Qingyang City.

That night, Guo Huan, Qin Shao, and Liu Yu took advantage of the cover of night to lead the men and horses to rush to the vicinity of the arsenal, and saw that in front of the gate of the arsenal of Qingyang City, two teams of guards were handing over shifts, and the guards were tight.

The arsenal is an important place in the city, the arsenal wall is three zhang high, hundreds of soldiers under the arsenal gate patrol back and forth nearby, on the city wall, ten steps apart from a corner tower, there are sentry guards holding crossbow machines on the upper floor, which is equivalent to a city in the city, and it is quite difficult to take it in one fell swoop.

Qin Shao stepped forward to observe, his brows tightened, in front of the prince, he swore an oath, but when it came to the action stage, he felt that things were not as easy as he imagined.

At this time, an official rushed to Qin Shao's side with dozens of cronies, and when he saw it, it was Qingyang Ling, Cao Huan.

Cao Huan stepped forward and said: "Lord Qin, although there are a lot of thousands of our troops, it is not easy to capture the arsenal, the arsenal has two doors before and after, even if the outer gate is taken, the defenders of the arsenal notice that something is wrong, and close the inner door, it is difficult for us to take the arsenal in a short time, and when the time comes, I am afraid that there will be heavy casualties." ”

Qin Shao frowned and said, "Lord Cao, taking the arsenal tonight is the key to the key, what should you do?" ”

Cao Huan said: "Lord Qin, rest assured, the arsenal guard has some friendship with me, I will move him to surrender to us, I believe that he will move with affection, know the benefits, and will be able to easily take the arsenal without spending a single soldier, you hold the torches high, surround the arsenal, and press the formation for the officer, if I can't move the defense will surrender, you are not too late to storm the arsenal." ”

When Qin Shao heard this, he bowed to Cao Huan and said, "Then please ask you, Lord Cao." ”

Cao Huan, flicked his sleeves, and went to negotiate in the arsenal, he actually hoped in his heart to make miraculous contributions for the crown prince and the future emperor, and he also had the confidence to gain a foothold in the court in the future.

Qin Shao saw that Cao Huan had entered the arsenal alone, so he gave an order, and the two thousand dead soldiers hidden in the dark raised their torches one after another, and hula stepped forward to surround the arsenal.

Seeing this, the guards of the arsenal immediately panicked, and hurriedly closed the door of the arsenal and waited for it.

Half an hour later, Qin Shao and others outside the arsenal were anxious, and after a while, the arsenal guards saw that there were thousands of people surrounding them in the night, their faces changed slightly, and after weighing the pros and cons, they had to order the defenders to put down their weapons and follow Cao Huan to surrender.

Seeing this, Qin Shao was overjoyed, and led a group of dead soldiers to rush into the arsenal, only to see that in the arsenal, weapons, armor, densely packed, neatly placed in the warehouse, the materials are abundant, and it is more than enough to arm 100,000 horses.

Seeing this, Guo Huan was overjoyed and said, "Hurry up and let the brothers change their clothes." ”

Qin Shao gave an order, and a group of dead soldiers stepped forward and began to arm themselves.

Qin Shao instructed Liu Yu and Guo Huan: "Brother Liu, Brother Guo, now that the arsenal has fallen into my hands, without further ado, it will change later, the three of us will immediately act separately, I will take the men and horses to search for Gongzi Sheng, detain An Guojun, and the two of you will take the men and horses to seize the city gate, and close the ban, you must not let the Taiji Palace notice that there is a change in Qingyang." ”

Liu Yu and Guo Huan knew that Qin Shao was taking the initiative to share the credit with them, and now that the dead soldiers had weapons and armor, it would not be very difficult to suppress the defenders in the city and fight for control of Qingyang, not to mention that they still had a moral advantage.

Liu Yu immediately nodded and agreed: "Okay, Brother Qin, just leave this matter to me and Lao Guo." ”

Qin Shao handed over most of the soldiers and horses to Guo and Liu, and he only took a hundred people and rushed straight to Gongzisheng's mansion, although he knew the exact news, he still wanted to verify whether Gongzisheng was at home or not.
